The Secrets We Hide

It was not like When Sally Met Harry, but let’s call them Sally and Harry.

When Sally met Harry she thought he was shy and innocent, geeky and very cute. With his baby face and glasses hiding inappropriately long eyelashes.

“Tentacle erotica describes a type of pornography most commonly found in Japan which integrates traditional pornography with elements of bestiality and a fantasy, horror, or science-fiction theme. Tentacle rape or shokushu goukan (触手強姦?) is found in some horror or hentai titles, with tentacled creatures (usually fictional monsters) having sexual intercourse with predominantly female characters. Tentacle erotica can be consensual, but frequently contains elements of rape.”

Sally and Harry went on a date. Harry was interesting and honest. He told about his battle with porn addiction and hook ups he had thanks to Tinder. Places he went to and things he tried with boys and girls one at the time or all in one go behind a closed door. Sally went to his place and looked through his books about quantum physics and polygamy. Harry told about his struggles with ego and his ways trying to achieve a state of mind where he does not feel insecure or jealous. He made Sally a drink.

They kept texting each other. Sally was interested. She knew she had a vivid imagination, but Harry took her to places she has never been before. Sometimes she wondered if most of the things they shared he really meant or was it just to see how far she would go. Confusion, lust, disgust and excitement followed in no particular order.

Life happened. Harry got himself a girlfriend. He said it was nice to have someone at home waiting for him after a long day at work. They went to the gym and cooked dinners together. Harry was all about an open relationship. He introduced his girlfriend to his colleague. They went on a date, which only ended the next day. Harry was so disappointed in himself for not being able to act cool about what happened.

Harry had a special bond with his girlfriend. Harry shared his secret fantasy with her. He always wanted to do a number of things in the bedroom while watching anime tentacles porn. At first, his girlfriend was hesitant, but then she gave in, because no one could see them once the doors were closed.
